    I, like many on this BBS, Never met or knew Pete but his screen name is certainly one of the ones i have known for years as one of the BBS "Good Guys". It seems from the posts on this thread he was highly thought of and very well respected in real life too.

    My thoughts and prayers are with Petes family at this difficult time.

    That is indeed sad news.

    I had the great pleasure of shooting with him at the Lincoln round of UKAHFT this year - I found him to be a genuinely likeable man without a bad word to be said for anyone.

    Our community will be the worse for his passing, but would do well to remember his spirit.

    Rest in peace Pete

    ps: I hope they sort you out with that punka walla you wanted...

    I am really sorry to hear this news. I met Pete at several UKAHFT shoots, he was a keen airgun shooter - he showed me several bits of silencer recently, with improvements at each successive shoot. He was an extremely likeable and gentle man. My condolences to his family and friends.

    Very sad news

    Just got back from my honeymoon this morning. I am totally gutted to hear the bad news, like everybody here I will missed him greatly. He has helped me to be a better airgunner. He is a true gentleman.

    Like Dave B said you don't how much you missed someone until they are gone.

    Rest in peace Pete

    Me too, He was always sat at the container when I turned up, seems really strange when he isn't there to say hello.

    Very impressed to hear of the amount of money raised. Well done to everyone who donated.

    Prompted by Gary C's reminiscences, I have moved this thread to its rightful place.
    "Improvise, adapt and overcome."

    I can count to potato.

    Died in around 2005

    I only met Pete a few times but his quiet demeanour and willingness to help everybody left a lasting impression. Pete attended the HFT and FT comps despite having had a serious of major health problems, and in his heart I think he knew he was on borrowed time.

    As with many quiet guys he may not stick in many people's minds, but a top bloke.

    Rest In Peace Pete
